Well not exactly over. The first week of September will rival the warmest weather of the entire year. Hazy, hot and humid "mid summer" weather will be expected through the Labor Day Weekend.

Welcome now to Fall -- Meteorologically speaking summer consists of the months of June, July and August. These three summer months make up the warmest three months of the year. The summer of 2015 will be remembered as a "Cool" and "Wet" summer. The temperature only reached 90° or warmer twice this summer in late July. Next to 1908, where we never recorded a 90° reading that summer, this was the latest date in recorded history to reach 90°.
